Where to Find that Ingredient or Bakeware

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006
WhItE_PoPlAr suggested that I put up a list of contact information for shops that sell elusive baking ingredients or bakewares so readers here can easily find out where to shop for that hard-to-find baking ingredients or special bakewares. Elusive hard-to-find ingredients would be things such as cake emulsifiers, Japanese rice flours, lye water, etc. I think that’s a superb idea so I’m creating a post here for just that information. I will just start with contact information here in Melbourne first, but I hope readers from other states and cities here in Australia can also contribute by providing contact information – i.e. name of city, name of hard-to-find baking ingredients sold, name of shop, address and telephone number if possible – so I can compile them and list them here in this entry. I especially need information on Asian supermarkets which carry more obscure products which you cannot find in normal supermarkets or grocery stores. I’ve included professional kitchen shops as they would always be the first place to look for a variety of different bakewares and kichen gadgets.
I’m also willing to list other countries if you can provide information too.
